Rossville, 18th District.-Not long since
Mr.. Joshua Bevans, of Back River Neck, met with
a serious accident in Baltimore. By some means
his horse became frightened and ran of, throwing
him out of his carriage against some object, and
breaking his jaw bone, and making such an in
cison in his throat that nourishment has to be
given through tube. Mr.. B. was unconscious
for some time, but is slowly improving.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Philip johnson, of
Cape May Point, Back River Neck, had q third
stroke of paralysis rendering his left side useless.
Mr.. ]. has been suffering for some time from the
effects of former attacks and he is now in crti-
cal condition.
Recently Mr.. George Oppertshauser, who has
been resident of New York city for or s years,
engaged in business, has come to live with his
father, Mr. John Oppertshauser, and will turn his
attention to truck farming:
Rev. Geo. W. Heyde, who exchanged appoint
ments with Rev. J. G. Nicholson after conference
closed, preached his first sermon at Orems on last
Sunday, which completed his round of appoint
ments on the circuit, and it is due to Mr.. Heyde
to say that he made quite favorable impression
at ali his appointments, and though many regret
ted the removal of Mr.. Nicholson, all seem to be
we'll satisfied with the preacher we now have and
cherish the hope that Mr.. Nicholson will not sus-
tain loss by the change.
Rev. Mr.. Heyde and family met with a very
cordial reception on their arrival at the parson-
age. 4 large number Of members and friends
were present to welcome them, and all partook of
a good supper. The reception was closed with
singing and prayer.
On the Goth ut. pleasant reunion took place
at the home of Mr.. VIM. Gambrill, three of Mr..
Gambrilps sons and portions of their families
being present, also Mr.. and Mrs. John Halbert,
of Perry Hail. and other invited guests, among
whom was Rev. J. II. S Clarke, who baptised the
youngest child of Mr.. w. C. Gambrill, and that
of Mr.. Halbert, and it is remarkable fact that
the two mothers chose the name Of Raymond for
their sons without each others knowledge of it,
and both after the same Ereachar. The entertain
ment closed with an excellent supper.

Hebbville, I'd District-Mrs. John Upton
met with very serious accident last Saturday.
She started out to get something from the porch,
and Just as she stepped from the door sill her foot
slipped and she fell across wood-box. No one
being present, she screamed, and her daughter,
who was up stairs, ran to her assistance. She
had tainted and lay helpless. Mrs. Upton was
gotten into the house and it was ascertained that
she had received no internal injury, but is feared
that the cap IF one of her knees is permanently
injured. The terrible shock to her nervous system
makes her condition quite critical.
Mrs. Joseph Phelps, who was paFalised last
week, has become entirely unconscious. She has
always been in delicate health and her recovery
is very doubtful.
The lasses and lads of Hebbville anticipate q
very enjoyable time at Mr.. John Zuback's, on
Easter Monday night.
If change is the spice Of life, we certainly have
it. For behold our climatic changes Last Fri
day and Saturday Winter, with his white mantle,
clothed all nature, and in twelve hours, old Sol
tore away that mantle, re robed all nature in her
spring green and gold and invited the farmer
forth to turn the melow earth preparatory to seed
time.
Miss Susie, daughter of Mrs. Charlotte Smith,
is very i'll with the dphthera and her little brother
is also sick.
Mrs. Hartman Wesselman is very sick.
Asbestos Grange held meeting last Wednes-
day night, in the Literary hall, which was we'll
attended.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather, the
White Ground Literary Society had no meeting
last week.
Prof. Rhineholt who recently bought Capt.
Faithful's place, and upon which he now lives,
has been appointed organist at Salem Church.
Mr. Lewis Wedi lost very fine COW last week
by over feeding coon after calving.
Miss Ida Piel, who had become apparently well
of the scstic rheumatism, has taken relapse and
is again great sufferer.
Mr.. Lewis Wedi's mother, very aged lady Of
this community, met with very serious accident
last Tuesday morning. Shelf down the corn-house
steps, broke one of her arms, cut her face very
badly and otherwise injured herself No doubt
her age will initiate against her early recovery.
Robin red-breast, the early harbinger of spring
was very plentiful in this section, and hundreds
| of them were killed. Some men were out every
day and winged large numbers. On Saturday
last they seem to have taken their flight, as very
| few were to be seen on Sunday. 7.
